    Hi,

    When I'm trying to boot my PC (windows 10), it's starting to boot up and then goes to a black screen.

    Any thoughts on what this might be and how to fix?

    Any recommended computer repair person near Dundrum / Rathfarnham?

    Thanks

    J

    Have you tried to boot into Safe Mode?
    See instructions here, under "From a black or blank screen".

    Yes, it tried to do an automatic repair, didn't help.

    I did a system restore to a few days back, when it was working, didn't help either.

    Just out of interest, have you recovery from a boot disk? How long are you waiting before restarting? Also does the machine respond to the three fingered salute?
